Determining Effects of Foliar Zinc Fertilizer on the Growth of Some Potato Varieties under Greenhouse Conditions

Öz

As known, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a significantly important plant species of economic importance rich in minerals, vitamins, and total phenolics and consumed as a palatable food. Zinc or (Zn), a micronutrient, is essential for plant growth as it is an integral part of various biomolecules such as lipids and proteins in plant metabolism. Thus increasing crop yield and quality. Different doses of Zn-treatment by foliar spray were used in 10 potato cultivars, and they were treated with 4 different doses, such as Zn0 (Control), Zn1 (0.625 g l-1), Zn2 (1.250 g l-1) and Zn3 (2.500 g l-1) application was made at the beginning of flowering and 20 days after flowering. According to the obtained results, statistical significance (p < 0.05) was seen among genotypes, zinc application(s), and their interaction. In addition, chlorophyll content (spad unit) varied between 33.67-52.60, and plant height (cm) ranged from 46.17-65.15. Similarly, the number of tubers per plant was between 6.10-8.95, the tuber yield per plant (g plant-1) was between 82.70-205.20, and the mean tuber weight (g) varied from 19.56-22.93. Among the Zn treatments, the highest proportion of large tubers ( > 20 g) was obtained with 2.500 g l-1 (Zn3), the greatest amount of medium tubers 10.0-20.0g, and small tubers ( < 10 g) was found with the Zn0 dose. Under greenhouse conditions, the highest performance was recorded in the Agria variety when subjected to foliar application of zinc at a concentration of 2.500 g L⁻¹, indicating its superior response to Zn treatment among the tested varieties. The results obtained in our study indicate that foliar application of Zn in potatoes has the potential to enhance yield in crop production.
